This is clearly neglect, and any teacher not reporting it immediately is complicit to that neglect. Really? Do you think people do this deliberately? As such, teachers are required to report this sort of thing and they do. However, are you expecting children to be taken away from their families because the family have to choose between food or clothes. Next you'll be proposing we bring back workhouses. Well not meeting a child's basic needs is neglect - and a responsible adult, who is passive and does nothing, is complicit in my view. I can't believe you don't agree. I do agree. However if you cannot afford to is it still neglect? People are too quick to judge. I doubt you can price the cost of neglecting a child's basic needs, so of course it's neglect, people are too quick to adopt a slopey shoulder.

The child would be neglected, but not deliberately. Seriously, people on tight budgets face stark choices. Rather than tarring parents, why not focus on the cause of the poverty.
